THE LAST SEPTEMBER
Directed by Deborah Warner
Set in County Cork, Ireland, in 1920, this film is a portrait of the
end of an era of British rule. Lord and Lady Naylor (Michael Gambon
and Maggie Smith) belong to the Anglo-Irish aristocracy know as the
Ascendancy, whose way of life--moneyed, graceful, essentially feudal--is
fast coming to a close. A love triangle between their young niece, a
British soldier, and a playful yet violent Irish rebel casts light on
the tensions between tradition and the terrifying prospect of independence,
both political and spiritual. Based on the novel by Elizabeth Bowen.
1999, Ireland/U.K., 35mm, 103 minutes.
